Entrepreneurs Who Built India: Ramkrishna Dalmia’ is a riveting and finely balanced biography of a man who lived and built his business on a grand scale. Founder of the Dalmia Group, a conglomerate that reshaped industries from cement to sugar, Ramkrishna Dalmia is a name that once towered over India's industrial horizon. Yet his contributions, until recently, remained obscured behind the controversies that shadowed both his professional and personal life. Sonu Bhasin's account cuts through this haze with clarity and sensitivity and offers a nuanced portrait of a man who shaped India's corporate machinery long before the term even existed.
